How to make Goat cheese stuffed strawberries

Slice a strawberry almost all the way through. Use a piping bag and a frosting tip to squeeze the sweet goat cheese-yogurt mixture into the centre of the strawberry. As long as the Greek yogurt you are using is thick, the goat cheese mixture will keep its shape. Garnish with a mint leaf, and refrigerate until serving time. So easy, and so good!

We’re in Tuscany right now, and the markets are full of strawberries. Chèvre miel, or goat cheese with honey, was a favourite find in the French markets last week. If you’ve been to Tuscany, you’ll know that the countryside views are beyond spectacular. I’m forever asking Denis to pull over so I can take a photo. This photo has a special memory–I stepped out of the car and directly into a patch of tiny strawberries and fresh aromatic mint growing wild at the edge of the road. Strawberries, goat cheese, and mint. In Tuscany. Does life get sweeter than this?

Strawberries are my favourite berries and I’m always disappointed to see how quickly they spoil. I’ve found a few ways to keep them fresh a little longer.

How to make strawberries last longer

First, don’t wash them until you’re ready to use them. They absorb water readily and that seems to make them spoil even faster. Leave the stems on for the same reason. To destroy any spores that may make them spoil, put them in a mixture of vinegar and water (3 parts water to 1 part vinegar) then rinse and thoroughly pat them dry. Store them in the refrigerator on paper towels.
